Bottom of soles falling apart! I ONLY wear them to work 2-3x a week! I also seen they made the new ones with the same type of soles. These shoes are comfortable, but I wish they lasted longer! I cant afford to buy these every 3 months!

This is a very nice shoe but I am a senior citizen with some disabilities and this shoe does not balance me . The shoe slightly rocks and I already have a balancing problem. These are not good for me. For an average person these would be great. Thank you.

I have bad foot pain in my right foot and always have to buy special insoles-but after reading reviews and because of the price I hoped I wouldn't have to. WRONG-wore one day to work and couldn't wait to get home and take them off.

The color. I ordered the vanilla/astral which looked cream online. When the shoes arrived they are a light pink color. Loved the cream look online, but not a fan of the light pink. If you want light pink shoes, these are the ones. Otherwise, pick another color!

I really liked these shoes, both how they looked and how they felt (supportive yet cushioned) but the toe box is much too wide for me.
While the B width works for me in Brooks shoes when I use tongue pads, I could not make the Hokas work, sad to say.

I love Hokas so much. They helped with foot pain and correcting my running form, but I'm going back to the 8s. The changes made to the 9s are leaving my ankles and feet feeling horrible and it's impacting my long runs.

I'm on my feet for about 12 hours a day. I hear so much about this sneaker from co workers and customers. I assumed as soon as I put them on the pain in my heels would go away but nope. Maybe I got the wrong one or something. I suffer from plantar facsitis so I have bad heel pain. I've worn these 10 times and still suffer.

My first pair was the Bondi, and seem to fit a little better for my foot. The Clifton are comfortable, but I would probably consider a half size larger next time.

The shoes have helped my plantar fasciitis and achilles tendonitis issues. I was in a lot of pain when I wore anything other than my Hoka Ora recovery flips. I had to buy something Hoka for the fall once I couldn't wear the flip flops anymore. I bought the shoes from the Hoka site and I've been very pleased with the Clifton 9, until the past couple of weeks when a row of the brown treads on each sole started to peel off.
Is there a recommended glue to restick them?
I wouldn't have thought the treads would unstick like this. It's really disappointing.

Have worn the Clifton 5-times. These shoes were recommended by a friend who runs an average of 4-6 miles three times a week. For the past 6-months, while my body has been healing from chemotherapy treatments I have been walking. Due to chemo, I also experienced tingling in my feet; neuropathy. The Clifton offers wonderful support and cushion. I am running 1.5 miles a day 5 days a week. The Clifton support is not helpful for my running gait. I supinate when walking or running. I find my weight shifting too far towards the outside of the foot. I don't want to roll my ankle. Love the color. I will try another model when I increase my speed and distance. For right now, I can use this shoe - gingerly and gently.

I have flat feet and these were recommended to me but my feet hurt pretty bad when I'm on the treadmill. Idk if they're gonna break in eventually but I'm thinking of returning because my heel hurts pretty bad

So I purchased the pretty Teal Clifton's in April. I wear them once a week as I keep my Sneaks in rotation, never wearing two days in a row. I work in healthcare and I see patients so this means I'm on my feet 11+ hours a day clicking in 12,000 + steps daily. My foot bed already has my foot/toe indentations. I hate this because the inside is already breaking down. The outside cushion/footbed is already compacting as well.
I have old Clayton2's that still feel brand new every time I put them on and they easily have MORE than 2000+ miles on them!!!! They still look brand new too.
Similarly My old Bondi's (2) and Speedgoats (4) both have 1000-2000+ miles and still feel brand new!!!
PLEASE bring back the Old Clayton 2's My Orange/Navy Blue are Amazing!!!
PS: I have a pair of Rincon's (Ironman Edition-meh they're ok)
Yes I'm a Sneakerhead I have every brand

Fit was good, nice cushion but not enough ankle support for me. I had to send them back.

I was excited to try the Clifton 9's after I have worn through 2 pairs of Clifton 8's. The sizing is different, they run larger, and they toe area doesn't fit as snugly as the 8's. They are also much chunkier than I expected. Which I have always liked the Clifton's because of their smaller sole. I have been the biggest HOKA fan but I'm kinda sad these didn't work out.

The shoe was the correct size. However, there wasn't any heel support. It felt as if my heel was sinking into a hole - very uncomfortable. You would think with all the cushiony support in the shoe Hoka Clifton 9 would also have cushiony support in the heel. NOPE!

These were my first pair of Hokas. They are cute and fairly comfortable. However, they felt like the sole was higher on the outside of my foot, making me feel like the shoe was at an angle and forcing me to walk on the inside of my feet. It was odd. They are being returned.

Too high, not stable feeling, ankle was unsteady. Rocker feeling just not for me. Felt like I was losing my balance even standing still. Won't buy in this brand due to all that.

I have several pairs of Clifton 8s and grew to like them. I now have 9's and regret keeping them and really don't like them. My 8s fit well and I had no foot pain. In the 9s, my ankles hurt and feel like they are collapsing in. Hoka messed with a good shoe, and now I have shoes that hurt. I'm hoping the 10s are better, but I'm not optimistic. I may have to go back to Brooks.
